Grace
will flow on its own to every serious and sincere seeker of truth. The grace of
the physical Guru is not Grace.
The physical Guru is part of the illusion. Stop
holding the physical Guru as God and worship him for his Grace. Such an act keeps
the Soul in the cage of ignorance.
If you
are seeking the truth then you have to get rid of the ignorance not fuel the
ignorance by getting involved with the Gurus and stuck with their slavery.
The Soul
alone is grace. The Soul is the inner Guru. You do not need any grace or
blessings from the physical Guru. Grace will flow on its own when you divert
your attention to the Soul, the Self.
That is
why Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you; none can make
you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”
Remember,
Yogis and Gurus are not Gods. This idea of worshiping Guru as God is not a
Vedic idea but adopted from Jainism and Buddhism.
Vedas bars
human worship: ~ "They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in
ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated,
eternal Prakriti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the
All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the Prakriti,
such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are
enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely
foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow and suffer terribly for a
long time.":~ (Yajur Veda 40:9.)
Then why
worship and glorify the Gurus and Yogis (human form) in place of God when Veda
bars such activities and also warns people who indulge in such activities
are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely
foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow and suffer terribly for a
long time.
If you
get stuck worshipping the Gurus you will never be able to acquire
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
If you are seeking the truth then
you have to come out of the slavery of the egocentric Guru worship.
People
dwelling in ignorance but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and
round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind
led by the blind.
Swami
Vivekananda said:~ "The Vedas teach that the Soul is divine, only held in the bondage of
matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they
use for it is, therefore, Mukthi - freedom, freedom from the bonds of
imperfection, freedom from death and misery."
The truth
is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. You have
to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of a single clay. And
that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, you
and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness
because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is
needed.
Gnani can
point out at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.
It is
necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again until it becomes a
reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm
conviction of what is what. Words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction
of ‘what is what’.
People
need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think reason reflect deeply
and reach the ultimate end.
It takes
time for the seeker to gain a perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth’
and ‘’what is untruth’.
It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from
the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is
hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.
When one
is absorbed in thinking of anything then he forgets the subject. The subject is
the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul is the
subject and the three states are an object to the Soul, which is the subject. The Soul is the witness of the coming and going of the three states.
The consciousness without the illusion is unborn and eternal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
